President Donald Trump&#8217;s pledge to launch America&#8217;s largest deportation operation could face hurdles and could cost nearly $1 trillion over a decade, immigration experts and former officials warn.
The American Immigration Council estimates that deporting 11 million unauthorized immigrants would require building 216 new detention facilities yearly for more than a decade, each costing $36 million to build and $48 million annually to operate.
&#8220;It&#8217;s going to be impossible for them to achieve the goal that they set out — which is really getting rid of all the illegal immigrants in the United States,&#8221; David Bier, director of immigration studies at the Cato Institute, said to the Financial Times.

</ul>
Early enforcement actions show the scale of the challenge. ICE <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43219483/trumps-immigration-enforcement-raids-begin-in-chicago-gov-pritzker-concerned-innocent-could-be-targeted">arrested 956 people Sunday</a>, the largest single-day total under the new administration. Yet even at the heightened pace, deportations would fall far short of Trump&#8217;s targets.
Immigration facilities already strain under current operations. ICE can detain 41,500 people at once, while border czar Tom Homan says he needs &#8220;at least 100,000 beds&#8221; to meet the administration&#8217;s goals.
&#8220;It&#8217;s not like you just flip a switch and immediately start rounding people up and sending them to the border,&#8221; John Torres, former ICE acting director during the George W. Bush and Obama administrations, said to the Financial Times.&nbsp;

Current deportation numbers—271,484 in fiscal 2024—pale against Trump&#8217;s million-plus annual target.
The court system presents another bottleneck. Immigration courts face a 3.6-million-case backlog, up from 656,000 in 2017. Most deportations require court proceedings unless immigrants have existing removal orders.
Private prison companies like GEO Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEO#NYSE">GEO</a>) and CoreCivic Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CXW#NYSE">CXW</a>) have seen their stock prices surge since the election. CoreCivic CEO Damon Hininger said his company could quadruple its current 10,000-bed capacity within six months, but building and staffing new facilities would strain federal resources.

Republicans promise $100 billion for border security and enforcement, but experts say it falls far short. Former ICE Chief of Staff Jason Houser said, &#8220;There is no way they have the staff, the money and the resources and the legal authority&#8221; for mass deportations. The plan faces additional resistance from &#8220;sanctuary&#8221; jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. While <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43216758/well-go-as-far-as-im-allowed-trumps-plan-with-immigrants-starts-with-1-million-deportations">Trump threatens to withhold federal funding from those areas</a>, similar attempts during his first term were blocked by courts.
Constitutional hurdles also loom. The administration&#8217;s expanded &#8220;expedited removal&#8221; policy, allowing deportations without court review for those who can&#8217;t prove two years of U.S. residency, already faces legal challenges.&nbsp;
The American Civil Liberties Union calls it a &#8220;cheat code to circumvent due process and the constitution.&#8221;

'It's Going To Be Impossible': Experts Doubt Feasibility Of Trump's Deportation Plan — Experts Estimate Nearly $1 Trillion Spend In 10 Years

President Donald Trump said Wednesday he will deport up to 30,000 migrant detainees to a detention facility at the Guantanamo Bay<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43220754/trump-withdraws-50-tariff-threat-on-colombian-imports-after-reaching-deportation-agreement"> Naval Base in Cuba. </a>
The Details: Trump signed a presidential memorandum that ordered the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Defense to expand the migrant detention facility at Guantanamo Bay to "full capacity" as his administration<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43137164/trumps-immigration-raids-will-disrupt-chicagos-economy-pritzker-says"> ramps up</a> deportations.
"We have 30,000 beds in Guantanamo to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people," Trump said during the signing of the Laken Riley Act at the White House.&nbsp;
"Some of them are so bad, we don't even trust other countries to hold them, and we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them out to Guantanamo. This will double our capacity immediately," Trump added.

History Of Guantanamo Bay: &nbsp;A small portion of the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base has periodically been used to house migrant detainees for decades by several presidential administrations.
The designated area, known as the Guantanamo Migrant Operations Center, held an average monthly population of 14 migrants and 20 refugees from December 2021 to December 2022, according to <a href="https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/trump-guantanamo-immigration-cuba-detention">a report </a>from Drop Site News. 
"The idea that the Trump administration is going to send 30,000 migrants to Guantánamo is one of the dumbest ideas I've heard all week. It's utterly absurd," J. Wells Dixon, a senior staff attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights who represents detainees at the Guantanamo military prison, told Drop Site News.&nbsp;
"The MOC is a dilapidated dormitory," added Dixon, who has seen the facility during visits to Guantanamo.&nbsp;
A U.S. official<a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/29/politics/guantanamo-bay-trump-migrants/index.html"> told </a>CNN on Wednesday the facility was not prepared to hold 30,000 migrants and would also need additional staff to function at that capacity.&nbsp;
"There's no way there's 30,000 beds anymore," the US official said.&nbsp;
Adding Capacity: It is not immediately clear how much construction may be necessary to expand the Guantanamo MOC facility or even if 30,000 is the goal for capacity. Government contractors who run some of the country's private prison systems may be called on for assistance in the event of expansion.&nbsp;
Geo Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEO#NYSE">GEO</a>) previously held a government contract to operate the MOC at Guantanamo and could be selected again as plans to expand the facility develop. CoreCivic, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CXW#NYSE">CXW</a>), another private prison and detention center operator, could also potentially provide services if needed.

Trump Pledges To Send Up To 30,000 Migrants To Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility

Illinois Gov.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jb-pritzker"> J.B. Pritzker</a> reaffirmed his commitment to protecting immigrant residents lacking permanent legal status in response to President Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43084601/trump-day-1-executive-order-tsunami-incoming-energy-inflation-immigration-in-focus-but-what-about-tariffs">promised crackdown</a>, which was expected to get underway in Chicago.
Pritzker says he supports deporting individuals convicted of violent crimes but not law-abiding workers who are living in the country without permission. 
"I want criminals off the streets, and law enforcement officers to do their jobs," the Democratic governor <a href="https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/chicago-politics/pritzker-promises-to-uphold-states-immigration-laws-amid-possible-ice-raids/3652713/">said</a> in an interview with NBC Chicago published Tuesday. "Undocumented people who are law-abiding and holding down jobs shouldn't be arrested just because they're undocumented."
Pritzker's remarks counter plans by Tom Homan, Trump's proposed border czar, who has pledged to dismantle state and local policies limiting federal enforcement. While fears of Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids have intensified, no verified reports of immediate actions had surfaced as of Wednesday, <a href="https://www.wbez.org/immigration/2025/01/21/despite-reports-of-tuesday-immigration-raid-chicago-was-quiet-on-trumps-first-full-day-in-office">according</a> to WBEZ Chicago.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Negative Impact On Chicago&#8217;s Economy Could &#8216;Last For Years&#8217; </h2>
Trump's deportation policies are expected to disrupt key sectors of Chicago&#8217;s economy, heavily reliant on immigrant labor. The hospitality and restaurant industry is preparing for potential ICE raids, though fears and misinformation have already reduced business activity and patronage. 
Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-21/threat-of-immigration-raids-turns-chicago-hub-into-ghost-town?sref=TBDibEcD">reported</a> the second busiest retail corridor in Chicago, normally a bustling area with taco shops and Mexican grocery stores, is like a ghost town.
"It's going to be disastrous," said Jennifer Aguilar, who heads the local chamber of commerce and spoke with a number of the 400 or so businesses in the area. "If raids happen and people are too afraid to go out, it's going to be an impact that's going to last for years." 
McDonald&#8217;s Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>), which is headquartered in Chicago, could face operational challenges and decreased consumer spending as the result of fear within immigrant communities.
Beyond Chicago, Illinois' agricultural and food processing industries could also experience supply chain disruptions.
Companies like Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAT#NYSE">CAT</a>) and Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADM#NYSE">ADM</a>), which rely on global as well migrant workforces in their supply chains, could be affected by Trump&#8217;s threatened deportations.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Private Prisons Continue To Fare Well</h2>
Private prison operators like GEO Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEO#NYSE">GEO</a>) and CoreCivic (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CXW#NYSE">CXW</a>), the two largest in the U.S., both have contracts with ICE to house detained undocumented individuals. According to a 2023 ACLU <a href="https://wp.api.aclu.org/news/immigrants-rights/unchecked-growth-private-prison-corporations-and-immigration-detention-three-years-into-the-biden-administration" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a>, over 90% of migrants detained by ICE are held in privately owned facilities. As such, both companies&#8217; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42692787/private-prisons-poised-to-prosper-in-second-trump-term">stocks are on the rise</a> over the last year.

Trump's Immigration Raids Could Disrupt Key Sectors Of Chicago's Economy: Pritzker Says To Focus On Criminals, Not Law-Abiding Workers

General

Shares of prison stocks are trading higher after President Trump reversed an executive order eliminating DOJ contracts with private prisons.

CoreCivic, Inc. (NYSE:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CXW#NYSE">CXW</a>) ("CoreCivic") announced today it has been awarded a new management contract with the state of Montana to care for additional inmates outside the state of Montana, with 240 inmates anticipated to arrive at our 2,672-bed Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility in Tutwiler, Mississippi during the first quarter of 2025. During January 2025, CoreCivic also received an additional 120 Montana inmates at the Company's 1,896-bed Saguaro Correctional Facility in Eloy, Arizona, under an existing contract with the state of Montana.
The base term of the new management contract with the state of Montana runs through December 31, 2026. Upon mutual agreement, the contract provides extension options in two-year intervals, or in any interval that is advantageous to the State, so long as the contract and any renewals do not exceed a total of seven years. Notably, this contract increases the geographic range of CoreCivic facilities that can serve the state of Montana.

Shares of prison stocks are trading higher after Mike Johnson was elected House Speaker.

President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s second term could provide for-profit prisons an economic and regulatory boon amid Trump&#8217;s plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40744471/trumps-plan-to-ban-mortgages-for-undocumented-immigrants-sparks-debate-what-do-the-numbers-say">deport people living in the country illegally</a>.
Private Prisons: Corecivic Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CXW#NYSE">CXW</a>) and Geo Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEO#NYSE">GEO</a>) are the two largest private prison operators in the United States.
Geo Group owns 50 facilities and 64,502 beds across the U.S. concentrated in the South and Southwest. In 2023, CoreCivic operated 43 facilities with approximately 65,000 beds, according to company filings. The facilities include migrant detention centers and minimum-to-medium security prisons.
Private prisons are a topic of debate given their for-profit nature and alleged human rights abuses. <a href="https://news.uchicago.edu/story/us-prison-labor-programs-violate-fundamental-human-rights-new-report-finds">According</a> to the University of Chicago Law School, labor conditions in private prisons are poor. The majority of prisoners are forced to work, often for wages under a dollar per hour, or face solitary confinement or loss of visitation rights. The report found that prisoners produce at least $2 billion annually in goods and over $9 billion in maintenance services.
In August 2016, then-President Barack Obama announced a plan to reduce and eliminate the use of private prisons in the U.S. Following Trump&#8217;s inauguration for his first term in 2017, Attorney General Jeff Sessions rescinded Obama&#8217;s memorandum, <a href="https://www.bop.gov/resources/news/pdfs/20170224_doj_memo.pdf">saying</a> the decision &#8220;impaired the Bureau&#8217;s ability to meet the future needs of the federal correctional system.&#8221; The stock prices of Geo and CoreCivic subsequently rallied over 30%.
As of July 2024, there <a href="https://homeland.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/24-01143-ICEs-Signed-Response-to-Representative-Tony-Gonzales.pdf">were</a> 662,566 &#8220;noncitizens&#8221; with criminal histories on ICE's national docket, which includes those detained by ICE and on the agency's non-detained docket. Of those, 435,719 are convicted criminals and 226,847 have pending criminal charges.
Trump&#8217;s Immigration Plan: Future immigration enforcement, an issue Trump made central to his 2016, 2020, and 2024 campaigns, would require detention centers, perhaps operated by Geo and CoreCivic.
The ACLU <a href="https://wp.api.aclu.org/news/immigrants-rights/unchecked-growth-private-prison-corporations-and-immigration-detention-three-years-into-the-biden-administration">found</a> in 2023 that over 90% of migrants detained by ICE were held in privately owned facilities.
In a CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/18/politics/border-czar-homan-trump-deportation-plans/index.html">interview</a>, Tom Homan, Trump&#8217;s incoming border czar, said the government needs a minimum of 100,000 beds to carry out Trump&#8217;s immigration plan. This represents a more than 100% increase over current capacity. He also elaborated on the extent to which Trump will carry out deportation.
"I don't have a number. We want to arrest as many people as we can that are in the country illegally," Homan said. "If you're here illegally, you're not off the table. It's a violation of the law; it's a crime to enter this country illegally."
The American Immigration Council, a pro-immigration advocacy group, <a href="https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/mass-deportation">says</a> there were around 11 million people living in the U.S. illegally in 2022, roughly 3% of the country&#8217;s population. The council estimates that a deportation plan would cost at least $315 billion.
Why it Matters: Geo Group and CoreCivic also appear to be preparing for the future demand for detention centers. On Dec. 16, Geo Group announced a $70 million capital expenditure plan to expand ICE service capabilities.
In September, short-seller Andrew Left <a href="https://citronresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Geo-Group-093024.pdf">called</a> Geo Group the &#8220;default play&#8221; for a Trump presidency given his positions on immigration enforcement.
The market at large also seems convinced. Geo Group&#8217;s stock has risen over 86% since election day, while CoreCivic&#8217;s stock has risen over 58%.

<h3>Discovering CoreCivic: A Closer Look</h3>
CoreCivic Inc is an owner and operator of private prisons and detention centers in the United States. It operates in three segments: Safety, Community, and Properties. The Community segment owns and operates residential reentry centers. The Properties segment owns properties for lease to third parties and government agencies. The vast majority of the company's revenue comes from the CoreCivic Safety segment which consists of correctional and detention facilities that are owned, or controlled via a long-term lease, and managed by the company, as well as those correctional and detention facilities owned by third parties but managed by CoreCivic.
<h3>CoreCivic's Economic Impact: An Analysis</h3>
Revenue Growth: CoreCivic's revenue growth over a period of 3 months has been noteworthy. As of 30 September, 2024, the company achieved a revenue growth rate of approximately 1.62%. This indicates a substantial increase in the company's top-line earnings. In comparison to its industry peers, the company trails behind with a growth rate lower than the average among peers in the Industrials sector.
Analyzing Profitability Metrics:
<ul>
<li>
Gross Margin: The company issues a cost efficiency warning with a low gross margin of 24.56%, indicating potential difficulties in maintaining profitability compared to its peers.
</li>
<li>
Earnings per Share (EPS): CoreCivic's EPS is below the industry average. The company faced challenges with a current EPS of 0.19. This suggests a potential decline in earnings.
</li>

Financial Valuation Breakdown:
<ul>
<li>

</li>
<li>
EV/EBITDA Analysis (Enterprise Value to its Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation &amp; Amortization): With a lower-than-industry-average EV/EBITDA ratio of 10.97, CoreCivic presents a potential value opportunity, as investors are paying less for each unit of EBITDA.
</li>
</ul>
Market Capitalization Analysis: Falling below industry benchmarks, the company's market capitalization reflects a reduced size compared to peers. This positioning may be influenced by factors such as growth expectations or operational capacity.

<h3>The Importance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Navigating the World of Insider Transaction Codes</h3>
When analyzing transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> tend to focus on those in the open market, detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase,while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

EVP Of CoreCivic Makes $576K Sale

President-elect Donald Trump seemingly agreed that military resources will be used to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/immigration">deport undocumented immigrants</a>.
What Happened: Trump's confirmation came via a repost on social media. Conservative activist Tom Fitton claimed the incoming administration will deploy military assets for a mass deportation program.
Trump's responded with the caption: "TRUE!!!" 
The statement aligns with earlier plans sketched out by Trump&#8217;s nativist advisors, including Stephen Miller and Tom Homan.

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/11/41779902/prison-stocks-geo-group-corecivic-rally-on-trump-2024-election-win-history-shows-the-gains-may-n">share prices of major prison stocks</a> — Geo Group (NYES: GEO) and CoreCivic (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CXW#NYSE">CXW</a>) — spiked. 
Geo and CoreCivic both closed in the red Monday, down 0.83% and 1.03%, respectively.
Trump&#8217;s critics warn his deportation plans will likely lead to families being broken up and force taxpayers to shoulder the billions it will cost to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41722059/trumps-deportation-plan-faces-criticism-as-taxpayers-shoulder-the-billions-while-big-business-stands">fund such an initiative</a>.
The use of military resources in immigration enforcement is not without precedent internationally. Several countries have turned to their armed forces to manage immigration challenges, often citing national security concerns:
<ul>
<li>The Australian government <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-64898507">employed</a> its military under the direction of former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott&#8217;s 2013 "Operation Sovereign Borders&#8221; campaign. The military's role included detaining migrants in offshore facilities — a practice widely criticized by human rights organizations for alleged abuses and inhumane conditions.</li>
<li>Italy&#8217;s navy continues to intercept migrant ships. Last week, it <a href="https://apnews.com/article/italy-albania-migrants-asylum-processing-centers-9a1a0037a4fe87bf7e4f33b02d01c382">opened</a> detention centers in Albania to process thousands of asylum-seekers outside its borders. The plan does not call for families to be separated, according to the Associated Press.</li>
<li>India has stationed military units along its borders with Bangladesh and Myanmar, citing the need to curb illegal immigration. The military operations led to the controversial expulsion of Rohingya refugees fleeing persecution in Myanmar. This drew <a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2024/10/myanmar-bangladesh-rohingya-community-facing-gravest-threats-since-2017/">condemnation</a> from international bodies such as the United Nations.</li>
<li>As a key entry point for migrants entering Europe, Greece has used its military to assist in patrolling borders and managing overcrowded refugee camps on islands like Lesbos. The military's involvement has been <a href="https://www.hrw.org/news/2020/03/17/greece-violence-against-asylum-seekers-border">criticized</a> for heavy-handed and harsh tactics.</li>
</ul>
What&#8217;s Next: Trump's rhetoric creates a precedent that raises questions about the balance between national security and civil liberties.
In the lead-up to Election Day, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/21/01/19152983/donald-trump-is-the-first-us-president-to-be-impeached-twice">twice-impeached</a> former president <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41196721/trumps-dark-rhetoric-migrants-portrayed-as-criminals-amid-election-heat">often made graphic criticisms</a> of migrants. Many of his claims, linking them to crime and violence, were unsubstantiated.
A KFF <a href="https://www.kff.org/health-misinformation-and-trust/poll-finding/misinformation-about-immigrants-in-the-2024-presidential-election/">poll</a> showed 80% of Americans encountered false claims about migrants increasing crime, reflecting Trump&#8217;s fearmongering strategy.
The announcement comes as Trump continues to fill key cabinet positions, with some nominees facing scrutiny <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/42036132/trump-wants-matt-gaetz-confirmed-100-so-does-the-cannabis-industry">over qualifications and conduct</a>.

Alex Jones&#8217;s media company, Infowars, is now the property of satirical publication The Onion.

Deal Dispatch: Shell, Unilever And More Are On The Sell Side; The Onion Makes Alex Jones Cry Foul

DAVID GARFINKLE, EVP &amp; Chief Financial Officer at CoreCivic (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CXW#NYSE">CXW</a>), disclosed an insider sell on November 12, according to a recent SEC filing.
What Happened: According to a Form 4 filing with the <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001070985/000095017024125574//Archives/edgar/data/1070985/000095017024125574/0000950170-24-125574-index.htm">U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission</a> on Tuesday, GARFINKLE sold 50,000 shares of CoreCivic. The total transaction value is $1,210,000.
The latest market snapshot at Wednesday morning reveals CoreCivic shares up by 0.09%, trading at $22.15.
<h3>Get to Know CoreCivic Better</h3>
CoreCivic Inc is an owner and operator of private prisons and detention centers in the United States. It operates in three segments: Safety, Community, and Properties. The Community segment owns and operates residential reentry centers. The Properties segment owns properties for lease to third parties and government agencies. The vast majority of the company's revenue comes from the CoreCivic Safety segment which consists of correctional and detention facilities that are owned, or controlled via a long-term lease, and managed by the company, as well as those correctional and detention facilities owned by third parties but managed by CoreCivic.
<h3>Financial Insights: CoreCivic</h3>
Positive Revenue Trend: Examining CoreCivic's financials over 3 months reveals a positive narrative. The company achieved a noteworthy revenue growth rate of 1.62% as of 30 September, 2024, showcasing a substantial increase in top-line earnings. As compared to competitors, the company encountered difficulties, with a growth rate lower than the average among peers in the Industrials sector.
Interpreting Earnings Metrics:
<ul>
<li>
Gross Margin: The company shows a low gross margin of 24.56%, suggesting potential challenges in cost control and profitability compared to its peers.
</li>
<li>
Earnings per Share (EPS): With an EPS below industry norms, CoreCivic exhibits below-average bottom-line performance with a current EPS of 0.19.
</li>
</ul>
Debt Management: CoreCivic's debt-to-equity ratio is below the industry average at 0.67, reflecting a lower dependency on debt financing and a more conservative financial approach.
Valuation Metrics: A Closer Look
<ul>
<li>
Price to Earnings (P/E) Ratio: The Price to Earnings ratio of 32.54 is lower than the industry average, indicating potential undervaluation for the stock.
</li>
<li>
Price to Sales (P/S) Ratio: The Price to Sales ratio is 1.26, which is lower than the industry average. This suggests a possible undervaluation based on sales performance.
</li>
<li>
EV/EBITDA Analysis (Enterprise Value to its Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation &amp; Amortization): With a lower-than-industry-average EV/EBITDA ratio of 11.04, CoreCivic presents a potential value opportunity, as investors are paying less for each unit of EBITDA.
</li>
</ul>
Market Capitalization Analysis: The company's market capitalization is below the industry average, suggesting that it is relatively smaller compared to peers. This could be due to various factors, including perceived growth potential or operational scale.

<h3>Why Insider Transactions Are Important</h3>
In the complex landscape of investment decisions, investors should approach insider transactions as part of a comprehensive analysis, considering various elements.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Unlocking the Meaning of Transaction Codes</h3>
For <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a>, a primary focus lies on transactions occurring in the open market, as indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.
